Once Guruji having his morning walk on the
beach, where it will be a normal site to see homeless children playing on the beach.
Upon enquiry, he found that some families are earning few rupees a day and few
are nothing.

Immediately, Guruji initiated a morning
discourse on parenting on the beach. Initially it was a small group to start
with. That started growing and after on hour it was a big group on the beach
listening to Guruji on parenting. In this discourse Guruji could collect few
hundred Rupees as donation or as Guru dakshina. So when Guruji got some money from
his initiative, he made a point to spend a few extra Rupees to get some life
essential medicines, food or blanket and clean drinking water for them. Guruji
went around the families on the beach and distribute.

Guruji wanted us to learn to share and be
thankful with what we have. We may not have much bit, however, seeing people
smile will always be worth it. It makes us rich by manifold inside.

Once, in the Gurukula, students were sharing a clay pot
to keep drinking water. Every day they were pouring fresh water for drinking.
One day Devadutta complained to Guruji that the water tasted "Stale".
He continued complaining for a few days. Guruji came and checked the pot, he
drank the water and could not find any “Stale” taste; the water really tasted
fine. In the meantime, Devadutta continued his complaining.
Finally, Guruji figured out the problem and the problem was
actually in Devadutta’s cup. Devadutta simply forgot to clean his cup. Guruji
cleaned Devadutta’s cup, and gave him a cup of water. Devadutta drank the water
with no problem.
Later Guruji said “Devadutta, check your cup and clean
it. When you clean your cup, the water will taste much better”.

Mind is the instrument in hand, it is our choice to manage the string not too loose, not too tight, but just right - Emotions are energy too, when they flow the most they hurt
the least. Make a choice to let it flow out of us like a river. The ability to think and reason depends upon the knowledge
and can be influenced by emotions. We can not accept any kind of disharmony,
whenever we are in such situations we try to over come it by one or the other
means. Because disharmony cant be accepted and it is not our nature. We look for harmony around us.
Therefore when we are in harmony with the situation, we look for comforts. If
we are not harmony with the situations then we are in harmony with the stress.
Any thing causes disharmony that causes anxiety and tension. Since tension and
anxiety are not our original nature, we can’t accept it and hence we can’t
leave with anxiety and tension for a long period. It becomes very difficult to
deal with and so mind starts doing something about it. …

At the very beginning Devadutta failed to accept that he can do
certain things; when he came into Gurukula, he had many things in his mind that
he can’t do. He thought he can’t even try do some things. Often he thought he
is a failure and of no use, no importance and no worth. After sometime he started trying new things like washing plates
and glasses, washing his clothes, folding his bed sheets, respecting others etc…
Slowly he overcame his fears of “I can’t do it”. He was pretty much scared of
everything; not sure of himself; ridden by self-doubt, that is why he couldn't
explore his abilities. But with time as he started knowing himself, he started
exploring things. That was the beginning of his self-belief and now when he looks
at himself in the mirror he can proudly say "I can do it”.

Just keep on reminding one thing to yourself 'never lose trust and always accept
and know that you would be able to make through it no matter how hard it gets –
it is true, you need to t…
